An integrated method of extended STPA and BN for safety assessment of man-machine phased-mission system

Man-Machine Phased-Mission System (MMPMS) usually demands the cooperation of operators with different responsibilities and machines to accomplish multi-phase missions. Its machine configuration and human organization structure may change across phases, and phase dependencies of machine failures and human errors may exist. In current studies, the safety of man-machine system is usually analyzed qualitatively by System Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) and assessed quantitatively by the integration of STPA with Bayesian Networks (BN). These studies only focus on single-phase systems and conduct single-phase BN while cannot address the features of MMPMS. In this paper, a qualitative analysis and quantitative assessment method for phase dependencies is proposed and integrated into the method that combines STPA and BN. Firstly, four types of phase dependencies in MMPMS are identified. Secondly, new mapping rules for phase dependencies are proposed to integrate single-phase BN into a multi-phase BN. Thirdly, the quantitative assessment method for phase dependencies considering the effects of human organization structure changes are proposed to quantify the parameters of multi-phase BN. Fourthly, the safety of MMPMS can be assessed through multi-phase BN. Finally, an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle system with three-phase missions is presented as a case study to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Measuring Professional Governance: The Swedish Version of the Verran Professional Governance Scale©.

To translate the Verran Professional Governance Scale© (VPGS©) into Swedish, adapt it to the Swedish context, and validate it. Magnet®-recognized hospitals have proven successful in reversing negative trends regarding nursing shortage. A change in organizational and management structures is required, and professional governance is fundamental. However, in a Swedish context, there are no validated instruments to measure professional governance. The instrument was translated from English to Swedish and synthesized into a unified version. It was back translated, discussed in an expert panel, and pilot tested with cognitive interviews of nurses. A new Swedish version of the VPGS© was developed. The expert group reached a consensus, and the scale-level Content Validity Index value shows high relevance. Some words and sentences were revised, and an introduction was added. The study generated a Swedish version of the VPGS©, which can be used to measure nurses' perceptions of professional governance behaviors.

Leaders' Perspectives on Approaches and Challenges in Enacting Faculty Vitality in the Contemporary Landscape of Academic Medicine: A Deductive Thematic Analysis.

Continual changes in organizational structures within medical schools have contributed to the expanded scope and the centralization of faculty affairs offices, which support faculty administration and supportive functions. Using qualitative interviews, we investigated the perspectives of academic medicine faculty affairs leaders regarding their offices' priorities in sustaining faculty vitality in the face of current and anticipated challenges. A semi-structured interview protocol based on the researchers' practical knowledge, informed by the study's research inquiries, and pertinent academic literature guided the interviews. Deductive thematic analysis approach was used to identify the patterns and themes across the interviews. Our analysis revealed a central theme: the pivotal nature of the leader's role in strengthening faculty identity. Additionally, three sub-themes emerged concerning the leader's role in nurturing faculty well-being within today's academic medicine context: redefining faculty role, acknowledging and appreciating faculty contributions, and maintaining faculty engagement through a whole-person approach. Faculty affairs leaders describe widening roles with an emerging focus on a whole-person approach valuing the diverse contributions of faculty across the academic mission, supporting professional development, reflecting the individual motivations of faculty, and championing institutional processes that holistically evaluate and recognize faculty contributions.

Dynamic Silos: Increased Modularity and Decreased Stability in Intraorganizational Communication Networks During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Workplace communications around the world were drastically altered by the COVID-19 pandemic, related work-from-home orders, and the rise of remote work. To understand these shifts, we analyzed aggregated, anonymized metadata from over 360 billion emails within 4,361 organizations worldwide. By comparing month-to-month and year-over-year metrics, we examined changes in network community structures over the 24 months before and after COVID-19. We also examined shifts across multiple communication media (email, instant message, video call, and calendaring software) within a single global organization and compared them with communications shifts that were driven by changes in formal organizational structure. We found that in 2020, organizations around the world became more siloed than in 2019, evidenced by increased modularity. This shift was concurrent with decreased stability within silos. Collectively, our analyses indicate that following the onset of COVID-19, employees’ communications began to shift more dynamically between subcommunities (teams, workgroups, or functional areas). At the same time, once in a subcommunity, they limited their communication to other members of that community. We term these network changes dynamic silos. We provide initial insights into the meaning and implications of dynamic silos for the future of work. This paper was accepted by Lamar Pierce, organizations.

HDF-Net: Capturing Homogeny Difference Features to Localize the Tampered Image.

Modern image editing software enables anyone to alter the content of an image to deceive the public, which can pose a security hazard to personal privacy and public safety. The detection and localization of image tampering is becoming an urgent issue to be addressed. We have revealed that the tampered region exhibits homogenous differences (the changes in metadata organization form and organization structure of the image) from the real region after manipulations such as splicing, copy-move, and removal. Therefore, we propose a novel end-to-end network named HDF-Net to extract these homogeny difference features for precise localization of tampering artifacts. The HDF-Net is composed of RGB and SRM dual-stream networks, including three complementary modules, namely the suspicious tampering-artifact prominent (STP) module, the fine tampering-artifact salient (FTS) module, and the tampering-artifact edge refined (TER) module. We utilize the fully attentional block (FLA) to enhance the characterization ability of homogeny difference features extracted by each module and preserve the specifics of tampering artifacts. These modules are gradually merged according to the strategy of "coarse-fine-finer", which significantly improves the localization accuracy and edge refinement. Extensive experiments demonstrate that HDF-Net performs better than state-of-the-art tampering localization models on five benchmarks, achieving satisfactory generalization and robustness.

An overview of human and organizational determinants in business intelligence adoption

Business intelligence (BI) attracts both researchers and practitioners due to its ability to analyze data and generate critical insights that support informed business decisions. However, despite its acknowledged value, Business intelligence adoption (BIA) rates and the consistency of success stories vary considerably across countries. The literature over the past decade has shown that BI adoption has increased, but there is a significant lack of success. The objective of this study is to understand the factors influencing business intelligence adoption, especially considering the changes in organizational structures and human characteristics imposed by relevant changes and requirements. This paper is a comprehensive review of articles published between 2012 to 2022 in leading academic databases such as ScienceDirect and Web of Science aimed at investigating the factors influencing BI adoption. The PRISMA model and Kitchenham's guidelines deployed for the selection of these articles. The selected articles summarized and analyzed using content analysis. This study identified over fifty key determinants, with a specific focus on organizational and human aspects. Organizational size, top management support, and organizational readiness are the most frequently mentioned organizational factors. As for human factors, perceived ease of use, educational level, and computer literacy were prominent. By outlining these critical factors, this research will help managers and researchers make informed decisions that facilitate successful business intelligence system (BIS) implementation.

TRANSFORMATION OF REGIONAL FIRE SERVICES ORGANIZATION IN SERANG CITY BANTEN PROVINCE

Based on Law Number 23 of 2014 regarding on Regional Government, it is stated that fire is one of mandatory affairs relating to basic services in the field of public order and community protection. One of the consequences of mandatory matters related to basic services is the Minimum Service Standards (called SPM) set by the government to provide guarantees that all citizens in Indonesia will receive a minimum basic services, including in the fire sector. The institutional form of regional fire service organization is an important aspect in supporting the effective implementation of regional government duties in carrying out mandatory affairs related to basic services. Therefore, organizational transformation is a necessity that cannot be avoided, considering the various factors that influence the organization are changing so rapidly. The purpose of this research is to find out how organizational transformation occurs, to find the determining factors and to formulate a model for organizational transformation of regional fire service organization. The research method used is a descriptive method with a qualitative approach with data collection through interviews, observations and documentations. This research analyzes and evaluates the organizational structure of regional fire service organization in Serang City, Banten Province. The research results show that the transformation has been analyzed using the 4R approach (Reframing, Restructure, Revitalization and Renewal). In principle, the process of organizational transformation of regional fire service organization in Serang City, Banten Province has been carried out. This can be seen from the changes in organizational form and structure that adapt to district needs. However, this transformation shows suboptimal because it is not based on the implementation of the organization's mission, application of rules and political will. Thus, an ideal organization has not yet been achieved. A regional apparatus organization that handles the mandatory affairs related to basic services, the nomenclature, structure, duties and functions of fire and rescue services should be in an independent agency at least with the type C model.

Afrocentric triple helix: A communal perspective on addressing Africa’s economic and social challenges

ABSTRACT That collaboration has always been the foundation of human development as well as the coping strategy of some animal species is a view widely shared by scholars. In fact, no individual, organization or nation can produce everything it needs without collaboration. Therefore, nations and organizations use the concept of the triple helix as a collaborative tool to find solutions for commercial and social challenges. However, the main challenge of the model when applied has always been how to ensure its sustainability and its outcomes. Central to this challenge is the rationalist paradigm adopted in its conception and implementation, especially in an African context where communal and collectivist values are features of the society. Therefore, this paper advances a different model of collaboration. The African philosophy of Ubuntu is used as the framework for the conception and application of the triple helix. Our approach is grounded on the assumption that “culture” is one of the key determining success factors in sustainable collaboration. The approach requires a change in mindset and organizational structure and culture. Our practical approach to addressing the needed change is supported by renowned scholars in management.

This research provides important insights for companies and policymakers in developing strategies to prepare a competent marine logistics workforce for digital transformation.

Digital transformation metamodel in smart farming: Crop classification prediction based on recurrent neural network

Agriculture 4.0 is an opportunity for farmers to meet the current challenges in food production. It has become necessary to adopt a set of agricultural practices based on advanced technologies. Agriculture 4.0 enables farms to create added value by combining innovative technologies, such as precision agriculture, information and communication technology, robotics, and Big Data. As an enterprise, a connected farm is highly sensitive to strategic changes in organizational structures, objectives, modified variety, new business objects, processes, etc. To control the farm’s information system strategically, we proposed a metamodel based on the ISO/IS 19440 standard, where we added some new constructs relating to advanced digital technologies for smart and connected agriculture. We applied the proposed metamodel to the crop classification prediction process. This involved using machine learning methods such as recurrent neural networks to predict the type of crop being grown in a given agricultural area. Our research bridges farming with modern technology through our metamodel for a connected farm, promoting sustainability and efficiency. Furthermore, our crop classification study demonstrates the power of advanced machine learning, guided by our metamodel, in accurately predicting crop conditions, emphasizing its potential for crop management and food security. In essence, our work advances the transformative role of digital agriculture in modern farming.

Risk Analysis and Assessment Framework for Cyber Security in Management Systems

Organizations are depending more and more on interconnected digital ecosystems, therefore strengthening cyber security measures is essential. This paper offers a thorough framework for risk assessment and management that fits into the larger category of cyber security-focused management systems. The framework that has been suggest-ed combines state-of-the-art techniques from the fields of risk management and cyber security to build a resilient system that can deal with modern cyber threats.
 The framework begins with a methodical inventory of resources—such as data centers, vital infrastructure, and network elements—that are necessary for the operation of the corporate cyber environment. A comprehensive risk assessment is then carried out, taking into account the possibility and consequences of any cyber attacks to the assets that have been identified.
 Predictive modeling and scenario analysis are integrated into the framework to enable a proactive approach to risk mitigation. Consistent with well-known management system standards like ISO 27001 and DDO, the framework emphasizes an iterative and cyclical process. Regular risk reviews, performance reviews, and strategy updates for risk management lead to continuous progress. The synchronization of cyber security measures with changing organ-izational structures and developing threats is ensured by this adaptive approach.
 In addition to strengthening an organization's cyber resilience, putting the suggested framework into practice ad-vances the more general objective of developing a strong and effective cyber security management system. This methodology offers a scalable and sustainable way to protect digital assets from the ever-changing pool of cyberat-tacks by smoothly integrating risk analysis and management into current organizational procedures.
 This study offers a methodical and comprehensive approach to risk analysis and management, which adds to the continuing conversation on cyber security. The framework that is provided here acts as a useful manual for com-panies that want to strengthen their cybersecurity while adhering to accepted management system standards.

Designing the Framework of Specialization in the Recruitment of Non-Teaching Staff in Iran's Ministry of Education

Purpose: The present study aimed to design a framework for recruiting non-teaching educational staff in Iran’s Ministry of Education. Method: The present study pursues a qualitative approach. The statistical population of the research included experts and professors in the field of specialization and the senior managers of the General Department of Education of Semnan province in the academic year of 2023-2024, among which 15 were chosen as the samples using theoretical saturation sampling and targeted sampling. The research instruments were a semi-structured interview and a review of the existing documents on this subject. The collected data were validated using member checking. The data validity was evaluated and confirmed using the quality criterion (reliability). The research data analysis method was thematic analysis in three levels: basic themes, organizing themes and Global Themes. Findings: The data analysis led to the identification of 393 basic themes, 33 number-one organizing themes, and 13 number-2 organizing themes in the field of specialization in recruiting non-teaching educational staff in the Ministry of Education. These themes were categorized under 4 global themes including expertise management with two organizing themes (expertise management and performance management), resource management with four organizing themes (human, time, material, and information), change management with three organizing themes (change in organizational structure, change in competitive atmosphere, and change in attitude), and management of organizational development with four organizing themes (managerial capabilities, human resource planning, creation of specialization culture, and organizational interactions). Conclusion: The use of elite and expert employees in the nonteaching sector of the educational system, as a leading institution in providing extensive services to the general public, depends on the presence of a specialization pattern in the recruitment of non-teaching staff. Identification of specialization criteria in the non-teaching sector, which has been done in this research, helps with the formulation of an appropriate specialization model to employ skilled and specialist staff in this sector.
